Tutorial - Make Your Nintendo Wifi USB Connector A SoftAP

hey i think a wifi link is better cause it can connect with ur psp, ds, wii, ps3 and i think it acts like an acess point. it's selling at ebay.
i dont think its at stores yet

OOo How much would something like that cost?

 

Ok I install it but it doesnt show on tray so I look at the Device Manager and it says:
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)"

What can I do to fix this?

 

Yeah argh the fact that configuring the nintendo wifi adapter to work with other consoles is really frustrating when it doesn't work.

There's also this one by Datel:

This was helpful but Buffalo INC isn't on the list!! What should I do?

I installed the buffalo card
but at the end it says:
"...but may not work properly.

The device cannot start (Code 10)"
What does it mean??
What shall I do?

 

I have this problem
HELP!!!

 

Okay, guess I didn't make it clear enough: I have done as listed STEP-BY-STEP here.

First off, I could never get the official USB software working because it kept asking to insert the USB connector during the ICS phase despite it was already in. So naturally it would fail.

Secondly, I uninstalled the official software AND drivers (Software never really existed on the PC anyway, it failed before setting up the Registration software for the connector.) before installing the ASUS WLAN utility software.

Now here's the problem: After following it step-by-step in the Read-me (I did this multiple times mind you.) I repeatedly recieved an error stating an address violation in the wireless.exe whenever I switched to the Soft AP tab under the Wireless Settings in the Control Panel. In addition to this, the Wireless Connection did NOT appear under the Network Connections. There was also NO ICS option appearing under the Advanced Tab when viewing my Local Area Connection.

Anyway, after a full reinstall of Windows XP and retrying the software it was successful. However I am now back to square one. The same address violation pops up once more despite I had the software functioning properly and the Wireless Connection that now DID appear under the Network Connections has magically disappeared. And so has the ICS option that had been there under the Advanced Tab in my Local Area Connection.

I have NO idea when it disappeared again but I'm getting sick of these houdini acts XP likes to play with me. I'm running Windows XP Professional SP3, currently in the process of downgrading back to SP2. In any rate, it's wierd this is happening now as things were working perfectly fine still even after SP3 was installed. I'm hoping this'll fix it but if not...

EDIT: And if this isn't even stranger, the adapter (USB Connector.) shows up under the Networking tab in the Windows Task Manager. It even states it's "Operational" yet I can't use it no matter what.

 

I did exactly as the tutorial said (from this site and, I do beleive the original) and it doesn't work. My DS can't find the network, even though the network says that its connected. When ever I tried the whole "set to what ever b", it would switch back to the original. I followed the entire tutorial STEP BY STEP and still doesn't work. whats the deal?

 

I get stuck on the 4 step, I have Windows Vista.
I do all, but iun the 4 step the Center doesnt want to open, i copy the files, but it doesnt open.

 

Unless I'm wrong I'm pretty sure this software is only supported by Windows XP. Only thing you're gonna get working with Vista is the official Nintendo software unless someone makes updated drivers and modified software for use under Vista.

 

ok i got a problem.

i got the wifi working i can play ds homebrew but when i try to play play ds gameit stuffs up. i have now given it a little time to cool down. but i noticed when i try to play the game it freezes the wifi usb thingy's light goes off. i cant even play homebrew, its like it shuts down.. any help would be good. it could be because it is over heated. it is hot enough to cook an egg.

thanks

 

can anyone help me use the nintendo software. i keep on getting application error even when the wifi usb is already connected. Somehow it doesn't read it.

 

hey thanks for the wireless any application software hack. took a while to get the ip for ds to work but its working perfect now. this is what i found worked, it may or may not for you.


if it comes up its connecting to device but not server, clear the settings you put in, untick hide SSID on the ASUS WLAN settings and click apply, search for access point, enter WEP key, then test connection, if it fails, enter the ip address like normal and try again.

to make it work with the wii this is what i did, untick hide SSID (not sure if it will make a difference but i did it any way) enter SSID and WEP into wii, now leave ip, and DNS settings to auto. and test connection. it worked for me

does anyone know how to make it work with ipod touch? im probably getting one next week and want to know if there is anything special you need to do for it, to make it connect, if not ill play around with it and post if it works or not

 

I use a USB WiFi dongle to connect to the 'net, but whenever I try to use both it and the Nintendo WiFi USB Connector (as SoftAP) at the same time, the one that was plugged in last reports the "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)" error in the Device Manager and cannot be used.

If I unplug my USB WiFi dongle and then plug in the Nintendo WiFi USB Connector then my DS locates and connects to the access point fine, but cannot connect to the 'net because that would require using my USB WiFi dongle at the same time.

If I unplug my Nintendo WiFi USB Connector and then plug in my USB WiFi dongle, my PC connects to 'net just fine, but then after I plug in the Nintendo WiFi USB Connector, the ASUS WLAN Control Center refuses to detect it.

Is there some sort of conflict between them that I could resolve? I have reinstalled their drivers multiple times to no avail.

Help

EDIT:
It seems that they both use the RT2500 driver. Is that the problem? If so, what should I do?
